The chairman of the Democratic Party of New Mexico is busy
trying to help Gary King loss his race so that he can run in four years for the
same position. He is busy removing women from chairmanships within the party
that they were elected to in the first place. He is replacing them with men
that hate women.

The party chairman is doing this at a time when he can
attack anyone who stands up to him by claiming that we should all be working
together during an election cycle. The chairman is planting his own male
supporters in key positions within the party so that they can silences any
opponent for the next election. He is also using women who hate other women to
fill positions. These women are hard core attorneys who feel that normal women
are too soft or weak.

I soundly dislike good old boy types that think they can
dismiss women just because of their sex. I have known Gary King for years and
he respects women. He listens to them and hears what they say about their
issues. He is not a man who only cares about the rich in this state. He is our candidate for governor and we support him! The party
chairman is everything and more that Martinez is accusing Gary King of being.

I emailed and facebooked the man that the chairman placed in
Nancy Denker’s position on the platform’s committee the day before yesterday and
even though he has the title of Director of Communication and Rapid Response,
Mr. Harwell has still not returned my request for an answer as to why he would
support a removal of a committee chairwomen without due process.

A number of women within the Democratic Party have expressed
their displeasure privately with the failure on the party chairman’s part to work
with women in good faith on many issues. Equality for women is an important
issue that the women in the party take very seriously. Dismissing request for
answers as to why a long time grassroots female democrat is being mistreated
and bullied is a major concern. Refusing to speak with a blogger just because
she represents the views of women is also very disturbing. Politics is not a
game where women can be excluded.

I was standing in the facility office watching a television
that was setup to show videos to students. Someone had found a wire hanger and fashioned
it into an antenna so we could see what was going on. We watched in horror as
the first of the twin towers fell. Shortly after we were all sent home to watch
the news and be with our own families. My daughter was in grade school and I
had found out about the attacks on the radio that morning when the plane hit the Pentagon.
I had almost turned the car around at that point to take my daughter home but
decided even if the country was under attack that Albuquerque would be the last
place to face danger.

I knew from the sound of jet fighters taking off at Kirkland
Air Force base that morning that something strange was going on. In my neighborhood
you call that sound a early warning system. Later in the day and for the next few days the
skies were clear of commercial planes as the country determined if it was safe
to allow planes back into our airspace. The only sound was that of fighter
planes taking off from the base.

September 11, 2001 taught most Americans to make sure to
tell their children in the morning that they are loved by both parents. It was
hard to watch so many Americans loss their lives in a senseless act of violence
that day. We remember this day as some Americans still remember Pearl Harbor. Whenever
America is attacked on our own soil we remember the loss of life far more than
if the individuals were killed in a war far off.

Since that day Americas have learned to live in fear of
another attack. As a child I remember practicing what to do if the Soviet Union
bombed our country. I was always thankful until that day that our children had
not thought much about safety because we were at peace in our own homeland. Now
they face dealing with security checks everywhere. Like my generation they lost
a little of their childhood security because of that attack. We learned again
the hard way that events that happen around the world can and do come to our
shores at some point if left unchecked. We don’t want war in other parts of the
world but when Americans are attacked far away then we must react to make sure
that our country remains a safe place for the everyday lives of our children.

Yesterday President Obama addressed the nation on the issue
of ISIS and what must be done to ensure that they will not be a danger to our
citizens both here and abroad. Americans are very supportive of the actions he
is taking to stop this group from spreading terror. We understand that at times
we must make such individuals fear for their own safety if they threaten or
take the lives of Americans. Justice is not always a peaceful and kind approach
to ending conflict. It must never be our first answer but in the end if pushed
too far then America must react to defend our own, in doing so we make the
world a more peaceful place to live for all.

I support Gary King for governor because I hope that he can
do more then Governor Susana Martinez to encourage job growth in this state. We
are at rock bottom when it comes to jobs in this state. I also like the way
King supports teachers and funding education to create a well-trained work
force. The educational policies that Governor Martinez has created have only
harmed our educational system and reduced the skills levels of our children. I
have no problem with his views on protecting the environment from large
corporations that would destroy future usage of our lands for our children. Governor
Martinez has sold us out to large corporations for endless amounts of money to
finance her current campaign.

I do however think it is wrong to say anything about
Governor Martinez’s nationality. I personally don’t think she has a kind and
giving heart when it comes to New Mexicans. I just don’t understand why our
candidates have to always put their foot in their mouths when it comes to this
issue.

I know a large number of Hispanics are telling King’s campaign
staffers that they will vote for Governor Martinez because she is Hispanic even
though she has only harmed our state in the long run. This has to be difficult
for someone like Gary who was born and raised in New Mexico.

Governor Martinez
was born in Texas and does not understand the culture of New Mexico. I do know
that some Hispanics especially those in the north do view Governor Martinez as a
bigot when it comes to protecting Hispanics in this state from rich white
people from Texas. She picked on Speaker Lujan for not speaking English well
and that offended a lot of Hispanics in the Northern part of this state. It
would appear that Governor Martinez has no problem with offending Hispanics in
the northern part of this state.

When it comes to race I know that most people view it as
correct for members of the same race to attack each other for their weaknesses
to fit into popular white culture, while someone from another race will be
attacked for doing the same thing to the individual who attacked individuals
from their own race. Governor Martinez has no solid ground to stand on when it
comes to issues, so she will always play the race or gender card if she is given
even a slight chance.

Well the news has leaked out that the new gigafactory that
Teslas is building will not come to New Mexico. Governor Martinez has failed
once again to develop new jobs for the State of New Mexico. She has been
failing in this area for the past three and a half years. Democrats don’t want
to give her another four more years to drive all businesses out of this state.
Ours is the only state, which is losing jobs in the Southwest.

Governor Martinez will most likely blame the loss of this factory on the
democratic candidate for governor because she refuses to take responsibility
for her own failures. The governor has been airing advertisements blaming Gary
King for not raising the minimum wage yet it was her veto pen that killed the
last attempt to raise the minimum wage in the state. It has been Governor
Martinez’s educational policies that have decreased the math and reading skill
levels in this state over the past few years. And it is the governor’s inaction
about water pollution issues at Kirkland Air Force Base that put the final nail
in the coffin of any deal with Teslas.

Mayor Richard Berry has been no great help in attracting new
jobs to the metropolitan area. He could not negotiate himself out of a paper
bag even on the best of days. His inability to control his own police force has
made national news and attracted the attention of the Department of Justice.
His lack of foresight and culture has failed to move the state’s largest city
forward on many issues. His total disregard when it comes to enforcing the city’s
minimum wage does not set a good example. The City of Albuquerque at this point
does not present a positive picture to businesses looking for a new location to
build factories.

Was it only four or five short years ago that businesses
were moving to the city thanks to Governor Richardson and Mayor Chavez. I am
sure that there are a lot of families that would like nothing better than to
turn back the clock to those bygone days. Governor Martinez says she wants to
move forward but at what cost to the voting public of this state. She is
attempting to portray Gary King as a supporter of the upper class but King is
not the one taking the Koch brother’s money is he?
